Compressor Oil Drain Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
CAUTION:
Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C compressor. Failure to properly drain and measure the refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor can prevent the A/C system from operating as designed and cause serious compressor damage.
The A/C compressor is filled with refrigerant oil from the factory. Use the following procedure to drain and measure refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor.
- Drain all of the refrigerant oil from the original A/C compressor into a clean measured container.
- Drain all of the refrigerant oil from the new A/C compressor into a clean measured container.
- Refill the new A/C compressor with the same amount of POE refrigerant oil that was drained out of the original A/C compressor. Use only clean POE oil.
- Install the new A/C compressor onto the engine. Refer to COMPRESSOR, ELECTRIC AIR CONDITIONING (EAC), INSTALLATION .
